I hate shipping. Normally, my standard response to shipping talk is "shipping is a plague." But in this case, allow me to tell you why I believe that.
But first, to preface, I don't actually care if someone ships or not. I'm not out to ruin anyone's fun. Shipping in and of itself is not the problem. The problem is all the bullshit that comes with it.
These thoughts are in response to a comment of the esteemed Alex Warlorn, who said:
One reader suggested that Trixie and her sisters were an unwitting Element of Magic breeding program, but that felt WAY WAY WAY too immoral for Celestia. She loves her ponies too badly to use them as chess pieces.
A SUBTLE Millennial Breeding Program
---Season 9--Episode 17---
After years of reading people's hot takes, "Idiot Ball" seems to have become a more succint, and somehow nicer, way of saying that the writing for a character is badly and contrived. It should mean that their actions are so contrived, it takes the viewer out of the story. But that issue is so recurrent and expected that critics have just turned it into a story beat of Friendship is Magic.

And the new video is out, a week later! Hooray! It's Sunset Shimmer's turn, and this one was so cute! I think it gave me diabetes. Can you guess who's next up for a reading out of these two - Wallflower Blush / Twilight Sparkle (Sci-Twi)
And it's hilarious, so much so, I just have to share it. 
Not made by me, obviously, so credit where credit's due.
Today’s post is going to be more about editing. Sort of. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
So first, welcome back readers! I hope you all had a good weekend! Especially with Episode 12 of Fireteam Freelance having dropped on Saturday. Was that a ride or what?
I bring you a double whammy today, since both of my artists finished their pieces in unison almost. I also felt it important to show them together to introduce a new character. The Sage of Fate. A long-lived chronicler of worthy stories to add to his antlers, so that those stories can immortalized in the strings of fate.

Welcome back, lovely peeps!
Today, we’re going to continue our deep dive into Princess Twilight Sparkle and her history with villain redemption. (Fair warning: some text is going to be colored. I’m using night mode, so some colors might not be visible in light mode.)
Last time, on the OC Apprentice. The two finalists: Coalstone and Reneigah discovered presents on their beds from Gob. Here, they open them.
Now, I present, part one of the OC Apprentice Finale!
Before we get started, I want to explain how blogs like these will play out. It'll be written somewhat like an episode, with both submissions from each team being posted here for you all to read and finally a bit written by me to tie the two pieces together. In this blog, it will describe each character meeting one another and arriving at GOB Estate with GOB himself explaining how things will work for the contest. I hope you enjoy it.
#Shrekt's submission:
... Do you know what I hate? When I look up peaceful piano music on YouTube and in the comments, you got folk telling their depressing stories about being abused and whatnot. I know people suffer but damn, that doesn't mean you gotta bring me down with you when I'm just trying to be inspired.
Anyway, hey all! So as you know, the OCHG Tournament is a raging success with two seasons! Possibly even a third if I play my cards right. But for now, let's talk about Season 2!
Based on the shameful "Why Equestria" that i took down because A) I was running out of ideas and B) because it was a grammatical mess. But I have created a new OC based on the main character that needs a name. Here's some basic information on her:
Name: ?
Gender: female
Body Color: dark purple
mane/tail: maroon
cutie mark: notepad
eyes: none
race: thestral
parents: orphaned
siblings: none
extra: blind, can't cry (Duh)
Just a very minor update regarding three fics. After checking out the new categories added by FIMFiction, I've added another relevant tag to the following:
Zone of the Equestrians - Sci-fi
The Guiding of the Sirens - Equestria Girls
Clock Tower: The Rudella Legacy - Horror
Ever wondered what the two look like? Check it out, my lovely assistant Acid Flash helped me in this portrait.
